dant sugary juice. It is also one of the best kinds for 

 a peach-house, fruiting freely, and ripening vfeW. The 

 foliage is, however, rather subject to mildew. 



Noblesse. — This has long and de&ervedly been a fa- 

 vorite in our gardens. It is a very large fruit ; the 

 skin pale, red when ripe; the flesh juicy and rich. 

 The tree is a good bearer, and the' fruit ripens in Sep- 

 tember. 



Bellegarde ; the G-alande of the nurseries. — Fruit 

 large and globular ; skin deep red, with purple streaks 

 on the sunny side ; flesh pale yellow, very melting ; 

 juice rich. An excellent peach ; the tree forces well, 

 and the fruit ripens on the open wall about the middle 

 of September. 



Barrington, sometimes called Buckingham Mignonne, 

 is a handsome fruitj rather large, of a pale yellowish- 

 green next the wall, but deep red next the sun ; flesh 

 melting, juicy, and very rich, yellowish-white, slightly 

 rayed with crimson next the stone ; ripens about the 

 middle of September. The tree bears forcing well, and 

 is not subject to mildew. 



Late Admirable, or La Royale. — Fruit large ; skin 

 pale green next the wall, pale red on the sunny side ; 

 flesh greenish white, red at the stone ; juice abundant, 

 and, when well ripened, of a high flavor* " One of 

 the very best late peaches," says Mr. Thompson, "and 

 ought to be in every collection." It is very proper for 

 the peach-house, to succeed the earlier sorts. 



Nearly allied to the preceding is the Teton de Venus, 

 a beautiful fruit, but requiring a Avarm situation. In 

 a good season it ripens at the -end of September J is 

 saccharine, and at the same time of fine flavor.
